Devin the Dude
Waitin' to Inhale
What Devin the Dude really needs is his own video game. Help Devin decide whether or not to fuck his high school crush "150 pounds and ten years later." Feel the controller rumble in your hands as he makes that ho's left eye shake. Collect dollars, smoke trees, and pull all-nighters in the studio to make some hot music for the people. On Waitin' To Inhale, Devin the Dude takes his weeded lothario persona to its logical extreme, the point where it could become an animated character--if he weren't so clever. He gets led around by his penis: Even though she went "from elegant to elephant," he does end up fucking that girl from high school. On album opener, "She Want That Money," he somehow forgets that the girl who follows him home is a prostitute, and then refuses to pay her. "Just Because" a list of horrendous thing he wants to do to his girl (like "lock [her] in the trunk without making a smell"), comes off as even creepier than Eminem's "Kim" because it lays on top of a bed of smooth R&B. Elsewhere, he tries to seduce a girl by telling her, "Girl, this dick is so clean that you can boil it in some collard greens." It works.
